So you think you're a big shooter......

Every restaurant has it’s vast array of customers….from those who like to have a quiet meal, just keep to themselves……to those who like to interact with the staff, they talk to the bartenders, the servers and the busboys, they genuinely like people, and they treat everyone with the same amount of respect.

You get your laid back customers who go with the flow…you get your high maintenance customers, the one’s who think (although they are surrounded by a sea of people) that they are the only one’s in there…..and you get the one’s who don’t necessarily think of themselves as big shooters….but they eat, they drink, they are merry, they interact with the staff, we laugh, and they appreciate everything and tip well. We will make sure they have a good time each and every time the come in.

Thennnnnn….you get the one’s who are legends in their own minds and self-perceived big shooters. They have an air about them, an arrogance, really…..they’re easy to spot, they feel they deserve special treatment…they’re demanding…..they want a special dish, (they are not the only one’s we do this for)…they dismiss you with the wave of a hand and tell you to go talk to the boss, he’ll say it’s okay, he knows who we are.

You don’t bother talking to the boss, you just send the order in. These are the same guys who will send you on a million trips to the kitchen…..after the food is served, they will decide they want french fries to go with their sandwich, (because apparently they didn’t know this at the time they ordered)…thank you for the extra trip, we’ll alert the media about your decision to have french fries.

When all is said and done, and they've treated themselves well, run up a pretty good tab….(ran us around like crazy) we present the bill…a grand gesture is made to pull out a credit card…..we run the card, bring it back, the charge slip is filled out and signed  like one were signing the Declaration of Independence…..finally they’re gone, whew.

Upon opening up the check presenter book, we once again see that they have left a 10% tip. Big shooters? NOT! We have but one word for them….ass.
